My name is Larry Wielgosz. I took the photo
of the MARS bird CH-3E #687 carrying the drone. The date of the photo
is April 1978 taken at Nellis AFB, Nevada during Red Flag 78-5 and
Brave Shield 17 exercise. Maj. Gerry Moore was the Detachment 1
Commander. The photo was taken just as the aircraft was
returning with the drone and ready to unload it. The exercise lasted
from March 30, 1978 to April 18, 1978 and 24 helicoptersorties
were launched on time. The unit was the 432nd Tactical Drone Group
based at Davis-Monthan AFB, AZ. I was a helicopter mechanic in
the USAF and was assigned to the 432nd TDG for 2 years.

I have photos from the 432nd TDG, 33rd ARRS
(HH-53C), 302nd SOS (CH/HH-3E). I was assigned to all these
units. I currently work for the DOD at Sikorsky Aircraft
inspecting & accepting helos for the U.S. & foreign
military. Including a couple of HH-60Gs.

Thanks Larry.
